AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.
Their Notions and Ours.


a public sentiment against it's en-
forcement might prove to be not
only very unhandy thing, but a
great public curse.-Buckhaanon
Banner.
Could the Constitutional Prohi-
bition of curse, possibly be
greater public evil than to fasten
and perpetuate that curse by Ii
cense?
Last Thursday night a few of
the more ardent prohibitionists at
tempted to log-roll a prohibitory
amendment bill through the legis-
lature, but the scheme, although
nicely concocted, wouldn't work.
West Virginia Argus.
The "log-rolling" was on the
other side, but when House Bill 81
passed by 81 to 20, the whisky fell
lows thought whole log raft had
rolled over them.
The Prohibition Amendment
was lost by one vote. McCallister,
from this district, could have saved
it.-Ceredo Advance.
1t was saved, but Mr.. McCallister
was lost in the storm that swept
the Amendment into harbor.
Senator McCallister's vote is
what defeated the prohibition
amendment. 1t is generally un.
derstood that he had pledged him.
self to vote for submission. His
constituents in this county are
disappointed. Senator McCallister
has made very grave mistake
Wayne Ne,os.
Senator McCallister didn't kill
the Amendment, but it killed Sen
ator McCallister.
We are pleased to gee that the
other Mountain Echo comes out
squarely in favor of Prohibition.
So far as we know, it is the first
Democratic paper in the State
which has done so.-Ksgser Echo.
Be patient, brother. Therell be
many Prohibition papers in the
State inside of two years. "The
woods will be full of 'em."
It is vain to say that the Repub-
lican party must and shall become
Prohibition party. 1t must and
shall do no such thing. Those
who are in it simply to make it SO
might as well GO at once, for
they will not succeed.-Com- Ca
zette.
The Republican party will Ell
ther be Prohibition party or
dead party before 1890.
Not being in favor of free trade
in whisky, the Intelligencer cannot
favor the passage of the Prohibito-
ry Amendment. The sale of liq-
uor in this city yesterday was
prohibited, but the sale went on
just the same. There is not the
public sentiment here to enforce
Prohibition on one day in the
week, and that one the sacred one
of the seven.-Intelligencer.
How can you expect pure pub
lie sentiment IN Wheeling while
the press of the city is in favor of
saloons and riot and debauchery ?
1t is not clear why the friends of
Prohibition should prefer a Con-
stitutional Amendment rather
than a statute, but unquestiona-
bly, preference does exist in all
parts of the country.-Camcimmati
Post.
1t is very clear why Constitu-
tional Prohibition is preferred. A
Prohibition Amendment makes
the policy of the State fixed and
permanent. Statutory Prohibition
must be fought over and over
again.

Freeman readers have had pretty
full accounts of the com plicated
struggle to win the submission of
the Amendment from the Legisla-

for two weeks hung up for lack of
one needed vote, and how a clean

through both houses under suspen-

final passage in the Senate, and

ance Companies represented
by L. FL. & F. A. Wellington.

A special train bearing a party ol
about 90 gentlemen who have been
inspecting the territory traversed by
the various lines of the Manitoba
railway arrived at Morris last Thurs
day noon. The citizens of Morris
met them at the depot with carriages
and took them about our thriving
village and gave them an opportunity
to see the fine residences, business
and public buildings as well as other
features of interest. At the close OF
the drive the party was given fine
dinner at the Metropolitan. Mr..
Bunnell had but little previous notice
of their coming and consequently
could make no extra preparations,
but still provided an excellent meal.
The train moved OH toward st. Paul
about l O'Clock and all on board ex-
pressed themselves as being highly
pleased with Morris and It's prospects
for the future. The gentlemen are
representative business men of their
respective localities, and comprise
bankers, lawyers, merchants, etc,
and represent large capital and COM
mand great influence at home. They
are the chosen agents OF the Manitoba
railroad company to handle in their
eastern homes the lands of that COM
pany located in the state of Mime
sofa. The TRIBUNE hopes that the
visit of these gentlemen will result in
giving a great impetus to the sale and
settlement of the company's lands by
the best class of settlers from the
various states where the agents re-
side. The party during its trip was
accompanied by Hon. Joseph Book
walter, land commissioner of the
Manitoba, who was assisted by
Messrs. II. S. Judson and E. 2.
Watson, of Morris, in his work of
pointing out to the excursionists the
many advantages of this territory.

SPACE of one hundred years such vast
areas in this country have been
brought under the pillow that our mar
vest is now the greatest 10 the world.
And what tremendous effort and labor
it has cost to bring virgin prairies
under cultivation, to fell tile forests
for the pillow, to fence, to put up barns
to put up DWELLING, to SOW ana 10
reap. 1t represents the work OF three
generations OF as laberious, as bold
and as determined q class as ever
lived. Much 81 the work was done IN
the face Of great personal danger;
The pioneers had not only to face hard
work, but a sleepless and merciiess
savage. Against sudden massacre
against ambushed rifles, against the
midnight torch, the pioneer farmers
built their log cabins, put up their
fences and furrowed the soil and
achieved result that puts the United
States far in advance OF every other
country in the world in regard to the
amount it produces from the soil.
